Dallas Child Abuse Law Firm
Attorneys Representing Child Abuse Victims throughout Dallas, Texas
Child abuse occurs whenever a mother, father, legal guardian or caretaker abuses or endangers a child (person below the legal age of 18). Anytime an adult that should be protecting a child physically, verbally, psychologically or sexually assaults a child, it is considered child abuse and it is also a very serious criminal offense that can lead to imprisonment, fines and also the removal of the child from the abuser’s home.
Anytime it is reported that a child has been neglected or abused, it is always extremely tragic as children are too defenseless and trusting to protect themselves. When a person that is supposed to be protecting and caring for a child violates the child, it can lead to devastation for years and years to come. For this reason, any time it is believed or suspected that a child is being abused by his/her parent or caretaker, it is important that people report it to county police or to state child protective services agencies. If abuse remains unreported, the child’s health and well-being will remain in jeopardy.
Remember, when it comes to abuse, children do not have the means or the knowledge it takes to come forward and report that they are suffering. Therefore, it is up to their loved ones and those who care for them to take necessary actions.
